Repair and Restoration Gallery

Our Yacht Services include repair and restorations as well as insurance projects:

In the event of an accident or structural malfunction we have worked with insurance adjusters before, during and after the repair to process and complete claims smoothly. We also provide pre-purchase cost estimates which at times adjust selling price and / or covered by insurance as existing design flaws. Click on an image or headline below to see some examples.
